Afropessimism

Combining trenchant philosophy with lyrical memoir, Afropessimism is Frank B. Wilderson III‘s unparalleled account of Blackness. Why does race seem to color almost every feature of our moral and political universe? Why does a perpetual cycle of slavery—in all its political, intellectual, and cultural forms—continue to define the Black experience? And why is anti-Black violence such a predominant feature not only in the United States but around the world?
